Singing Audition for "Wild Dust" The Musical
The company is holding auditions for "Wild Dust" the Musical and looking for performers, please see the details below. About the project: It’s 1887 and a dust storm is about to hit the town of Willow Creek. The west was still wild, but the wind was wilder. Wild Dust: The Musical takes place at a time when the “west was wild, the women were soft and the men were brave.” The worst dust storm in a decade was about to hit the town, and all the men had gone to drive the horses and cattle to safer shelter to ride out the storm. That left the women of town to fend for themselves in the only building strong enough to withstand the pounding sand – the town brothel. So four “fallen ladies” and three “ladies of the town” are thrown together for the next 72 hours, along with a mysterious cowboy and a dancing corpse! For three days they confront the elements, each other, and hardest of all – themselves. Additional info: Show Dates: June 6 - 29, 2025 Rehearsals Begin: May 5, 2025 Actors should come prepared to sing a song from a musical. Your song may be no longer than 16 bars of music (or 32 if cut-time). Please bring your sheet music with accompaniment as a pianist will be provided for you. If you are more comfortable using a karaoke accompaniment track, that is welcome as well. Be prepared to learn a short dance combination. Bring a change of clothes to dance in. The choreographer will be teaching a dance routine to all who audition. Cold readings from the script will be requested.
